About this Gig
DOES YOUR STORY HAVE WHAT IT TAKES TO MAKE HEADLINES?
Most beta readers tell you if they "liked" the book. I go further. I analyze your manuscript through an editorial and media lens, identifying the themes and hooks that can be used for future promotion and reviews.
I am Michelly, a Professional Journalist and literary specialist with deep roots in the fiction world. From covering major events like the Bienal Internacional do Livro de São Paulo to analyzing narratives for the press, I know what makes a story stand out to editors, critics, and readers.
WHAT YOU WILL RECEIVE (The Editorial Report):
- Narrative Flow & Pacing: Is the story engaging from page one?
- Character Depth: Are your protagonists compelling and consistent?
- World-Building & Logic: Is the setting immersive and free of plot holes?
- Media Appeal: A unique section where I identify "journalistic hooks" and pautas that can be used to market your book later.

FAQ
What is the difference between a Beta Reader and your Editorial Report?
A standard beta reader shares a personal opinion. My Editorial Report is a professional analysis from a journalist’s perspective. I evaluate structure, character arcs, and "media hooks" to see if your story is ready for critics and the press.
Will you fix my grammar and spelling?
This service focuses on the "big picture" (plot, pacing, and themes). However, if you are looking for professional proofreading and grammar correction, please contact me before ordering. I can create a custom offer to include a full linguistic review along with your editorial report.
Can I send you questions to answer about my project?
Yes. If you have any questions or particular elements that you're worried about, let me know and I will do my best to provide relevant feedback.
Is my story safe with you?
Absolutely. As a Professional Journalist, I follow a strict code of ethics regarding confidentiality. Your manuscript is your intellectual property and will never be shared or used for any other purpose.
